Goose Island Bourbon County Stout 2015

Overall 96/100

Appearance 23/25

Aroma 25/25

Taste 24/25

Finish 24/25

The well known Bourbon County Stout is brewed out of Chicago IL, at the Goose Island Brewery. It is available during the winter months, and is known to make its debut on Black Friday after Thanksgiving. This bourbon barrel aged stout has a hefty 14.3%.

This stout pours out a black as night color, with a solid brown head. The aroma has a lot going on as there is some coffee, chocolate, roasted malts, and caramel. There is also a nice touch of bourbon that warms up the nostrils. For having such a high ABV this beer is very easy to drink, yet is full flavored showing off its full body. The coffee, and chocolate show up first, before leading to the smooth creamy finish that hints of the bourbon that this beer is named after.

This is yet again another fantastic Bourbon County Stout from Goose Island. I will be looking forward to it again next year. If you get a chance to pick a bottle of this up, you should. It is very, very good.

Old Dominion Double D IPA

Overall 87/100
Appearance 22/25
Aroma 21/25
Taste 22/25
Finish 22/25
Old Dominion Brewery is located in Dove DE and they brewed this fine Double IPA named creatively Double D. This beer has a nice hefty 9% ABV and packs a nice punch with 90 IBU’s.

I found this Double IPA to pour a nice copper color, producing a nice amount of head that laces on the glass. The aroma of this beer is packed with citrus, grapefruit, piney, and some tropical hops to go with a nice caramel, and pale malt backbone. The taste of this beer doesn’t disappoint as the citrus, grapefruit, and piney hops show up full force but are balanced very well with the malt. I found the finish to be bitter with the tropical hops showing through nicely with a hint of alcohol, but overall I felt as this beer hid the ABV very well making it rather easy to drink it you like a good bite like myself.

Overall I found this to be a very nice Double IPA and I would love to try and track some more down. I would like to thank Lauren at Old Dominion for being so kind to as send me this bottle, and I would urge you to try it out if you are lucky enough to have it distributed near you.
